I'm in a "using cygwin with native apps" mood today.

Anyone have advice on how to customize the _vimrc of native gvim to best
work with cygwin?  For example, so that "!" shell commands work like they
do in cygwin (non-"g") vim.  I'd like to run gvim without loading an
X-server.

Thanks for your help.
